Description
This workshop will focus on the two areas of optimal transport and quasi-sure analysis and of machine learning, data science and high-dimensional optimisation, all within the context of mathematical finance. It brings together experts from mathematical finance and specialists of numerical methods for optimal transport problems and specialists of neural networks and optimisation techniques for AI applications. Some key goals are to understand the nature of recently obtained results in the latter areas, their connections to mathematical finance, and to discuss the directions that should be explored with priority in the future.
Ce workshop portera principalement sur le domaine du transport optimal et de l’analyse quasi-sûre et sur celui de l’apprentissage automatique, de la science des données et de l’optimisation en grande dimension, le tout dans le contexte de la finance mathématique. Il rassemblera des experts en finance mathématique, des spécialistes des méthodes numériques pour les problèmes de transport optimaux, ainsi que des spécialistes des réseaux de neurones et des techniques d’optimisation pour les applications en intelligence artificielle. En particulier, nous chercherons à comprendre la nature des résultats récemment obtenus dans ces domaines, leurs liens avec la finance mathématique, et nous discuterons des thématiques qui pourraient être explorées en priorité à l’avenir.
